2023 Toyota GR | Unreal Engine 5 Cinematic Commercial | #directorscut #ue5 (real ad)

After months of work, I'm proud to present my directors cut for the Toyota GR commercial I recently finished. I was hired to create two commercials for their new GR line up. The environment, animation, filming and lighting all were fully in Unreal Engine 5, with particle simulation done in Houdini, and Maya. This piece wouldn't be where its at without the amazing team I had on board.

I led the pack with handling all of the animation, filming, and base lighting, paired with my amazing team at Impossible Objects who came in with rigging, environment work, lighting, and render / VFX technicalities.

Music: "I've Gotta Be Me" Sammy Davis Jr.

The way these films are made is incredible. Animation, Camera and cuts are brilliant. Really well put together and the fact that it is rendered in real-time makes my jaw drop

[JacksonHayes]

holy F*CK. This is absolutely stunning. easily the best automotive unreal short I've seen, and even crushes it as an Unreal short in general.

[ArchvizNow]

This is beyond awesome. I wish I could make something like this.

[arhiiso]

Wait what....that's UE? :)) daaamn, amazing

[denisvisker]

HOW is it even possible? very impressive! I`m a huge UE fan and i'm not sure if i saw anything better than this

[nickkaverin]

Amazing work as always! Do you have any tips how to work properly with car(car paint) and path tracing to get photorealistic result?

[antonburov]

It's very cool, just super! I really want to watch the training videos on it for him

Hi! Well done! It's a pity to lose some quality with such youtube decoding for 1080p. You can use Topaz Video Enhance AI to upscale it to 4k. It would be a way better quality since youtube use another decoder for 4k video.
